HAKKO HK 40 LP

Matala introduces the new Hakko HK-40 LP Linear air pump.

This new body style is made of high quality composite resin that is very suitable for outdoor use at an affordable price. The large air filter is mounted on the side of the pump for easy cleaning. All internal components are industrial grade quality and the pump comes with a 3 year warranty.

The Hakko Air Pump 40 LP will deliver a maximum of 70 Liters Per Minute.

It is a small unit with surprisingly high output. The Hakko air pumps are built to last with a very durable body and mechanics meaning years and years of everlasting quality airflow.

The Hakko 100 L and the 120 L both utilize an internal safety switch. If excess vibration occurs due to dropping the pump or due to wear and tear on the diaphragms, the safety switch will turn off the motor to prevent further damage. If this occurs open the top of air pump and you will see a black round dial with 2 arrows on top of the motor. Simply turn the arrows to align again and the motor should start. Inspect diaphragms and other internal parts for damage. Call us if you need help.

Note: If your diaphragms are blowing out frequently, you most likely have an excess back pressure problem in your design. Check that your air delivery tube is large diameter and no kinking is occuring. Check your air diffusers for clogging. Ceramic style air stones need cleaning with muriatic acid every 3 months typically. Check that the number of air diffusers is sufficient to handle the air output of your Hakko pump. Too few diffusers will create excess back pressure. Read the article titled "Heat and Pressure Control for Air Pumps."

Hakko Replacement Magnets

The magnet is the part that moves back and forth with the diaphragm. It holds the diaphragm secure and vice a versa. Typically the magnet is very long lasting. However if you run the air pump with bad diaphragms for extended periods you could wear down the magnet. If you open the motor for repair and you find dust or small metal particles you may need to replace the magnet. Always inspect the magnet for wear and tear when you replace your diaphragms. They are very easy to replace.
